Maryculter Bridge

The Maryculter Bridge was built in 1895. The bridge was built to provide easier access to Milltimber station on the Deeside railway line. Prior to 1895 the only means of crossing the river at this point were by two ferry boats; one at Inchferry and one at Blairs (which continued until the mid-1960’s).

At the height of the great floods of January 1937, the road on the bridge was under four feet of water.

Old Mill Inn

Even our local is 200 years old !

The Mill Inn at Maryculter was one of the most popular inns on Deeside for travellers from Aberdeen during the 1800’s and 1900’s.

The Old Mill Inn remains a popular venue for weddings and other functions, set in an idylic rural setting.

The land is not intensively farmed, but consists mainly of many small local farms. The primary land use has changed little over many centuries.
